I've been going back through a manuscript that I finished a few years ago. One of the Circeae Tales stories. While I see that I have a lot of work to do on it, I am loving it! As I'm reading, I keep thinking, "I can't believe I wrote that!" Because I've been removed from it for a little while, I can enjoy it a little more objectively. It's holding my attention, and I don't want to put it down!The book I am looking to publish next is Outlaw. It falls at number 7 in the timeline, but like all the rest, it stands alone. It's the story of Britt Lockhart and Laney Rose, who are found briefly in Asylum. They are hopelessly flawed characters, but what good story doesn't have that element? Here's the description:Britt Lockhart is an ill-reputed scoundrel. Cole and Laney Rose are wards of the Progressive Legacy. Frightening events cause their worlds to collide and lifelong friendships are formed. Together, they infiltrate the highest echelons of the Legacy, attacking the organization from deep within. But when a mission goes wrong and leaves Laney with a life-altering complication, Britt is forced to rethink their options. Influenced by the classic tales, “The Scarlet Pimpernel” and “The Count of Monte Cristo.”Those two novels have long been favorites of mine. They are both full of romance, intrigue, and honor. I only hope that Outlaw is half as good.I really can't wait to be able to share these stories with you. I love how they all come together to form a bigger picture! My little brain couldn't have possibly done something like that. I have to chalk it up to divine inspiration. Soli Deo Gloria!
